Also in Table I, a number of other compounds are listed which were prepared by reacting a substituted diamine of Class 1 with a carbonyl compound described by Formula 2. The numbers of those compounds, as listed in Table I, are as follows: 1, 4-10, 11, 12, 14-1-6, 18-28, 30-33, 36, 39, 42, 44-46, and

Examples of compounds prepared by reacting monoamines of Class 3 with carbonyl compounds described by Formula 2 are numbered in Table I as follows: 2, 11, 17, 29, 34, 40, 48, 51, 59, and 60; and

Class 4.Monoamines of the type R -Y-QNHR (Formula 6) where R and R are H or an Organic Residue; Q is a straight or branched alkylene chain containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and Y is S- or -O. Compounds 3, 13, 37, 41, 43, 47, 49, and 52-58, listed in Table I, are examples of the compounds of this invention prepared by reacting a monoamine of Class 4 with a cabonyl described in Formula 2.

It is thus seen that when the Class 1 substituted diamines (Formula 3) are reacted with the carbonyl compounds described by Formula 2, E and E of Formula 1 will be R and respectively. When the Class 2 substituted diamines (Formula 4) are reacted with the compound described by Formula 2, E and E of Formula 1 will be R and R XNR Q, respectively. When Class 3 monoamines (Formula 5) are reacted with carbonyl compounds of Formula 2, E and E of Formula 1 will be R and R respectively, and when Class 4 monoamines described by Formula 6 are reacted with carbonyl compounds of Formula 2, E and E of Formula 1 will be R and R Y-Q, respectively.

The compounds of the invention are prepared by reacting the carbonyl compound with an amine'at a temperature of from -100 C. to 100 C., preferably at a temperature of from 60 C. to 0 C. The reaction proceeds at atmospheric pressure but any pressure of from 0 to 450 p.s.i.a. may be employed. Some of the compounds may be prepared by reacting a carbonyl and an amine for as short a time as 0.1 hour. Depending upon the choice of reactants and the reaction conditions, it may take as long as 100 hours. Ordinarily, however, the reaction should take no longer than 24 hours. The reactants may be employed in a ratio of carbonyl compound to amine of from :1 to 1:10. It is preferred, however, that the mole ratio of carbonyl to amine be within the range of from 1.111 to 121.1. Various solvents are suitable. Diethyl ether, chloroform, acetone have been utilized elfectively. In addition, heptane, benzene, toluene, and the like, should be suitable.

Alternatively, the carbonyl and water can be contacted in equimolar amounts. The product of this reaction is further reacted with an amine. The structure of the product of the reaction between the carbonyl and Water is not known; however, the product resulting from the reaction between the interrnediate product and the amine is believed to be the same as the product of the aforementioned direct reaction between the carbonyl and the amine. It is possible, however, that the latter reaction yields a salt rather than a covalent structure. It is also possible that the product prepared by the former reaction is converted to a salt when contacted with moisture.

The following examples illustrate the method of preparing the compounds of this invention.

EXAMPLE 1 Hexafluoroacetone (83 grams) was allowed to vaporize into a solution of N,N-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine EXAMPLE 2 N-phenylethylenediamine (13.6 grams) was dissolved in 200 ml. of anhydrous ether in a flask equipped with stirrer, thermometer, and Dry Ice condenser. A blanket of nitrogen gas was maintained above the solution. The solution was stirred and cooled to approximately -50 C. and hexafluoroacetone (18.5 grams) was added to the cold solution. After the addition was complete, the solution was stirred until room temperature was attained. Evaporation of the solvent yielded 31.7 grams of crude crystalline tan colored product. Recrystallization of the crude material from chloroform gave a white product, M.P. 185189 C. The material was hexafluoro-Z-[Z- (phenylamino)ethylamino]-2-propanol. Fluorine analysis: calculated 37.7; found 37.4.

EXAMPLE 3 A solution of N-methyl-l,3-propanediamine (5.32 grams) in 170 ml. of anhydrous ether was placed in a flask equipped with thermometer, stirrer, and Dry Ice condenser. An atmosphere of nitrogen gas was maintained above the solution. The solution was cooled to approximately 50 C. and hexafluoroacetone (10 grams) was allowed to vaporize into the cold solution. The solution was stirred until room temperature was attained and evaporation of the ether yielded a crude while solid. The material was washed with petroleum ether and dried on a filter. A yield of 15.6 grams of hexafluoro-2-[3-methylamino)- propylamino] -2-propanol was obtained. Melting point Was 127l29 C. Fluorine analysis: calculated 44.8; found 44.8.

EXAMPLE 4 The compound of Example 1 was prepared 'by the alternate method described above. A flask was charged with two-tenths mole of water and two-tenths mole plus 10% excess of hexafluoroacetone. The flask temperature was maintained between 40 and 45 C. with stirring. The reaction was mildly exothermic. One-tenth mole of a liquid product of this reaction which was assumed to be a monohydrate of hexafluoroacetone was dissolved in ml. of ether and one-tenth mole of N,N-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine was added dropwise to the mixture. The temperature was held between 25 and 28 C. during the course of the addition. After the addition was completed, the mixture was allowed to stir for 60 minutes during which time white solids formed. The mixture was cooled and the solids filtered. The white product had a melting point of 63.5 C. A mixed melting point test with a compound prepared in Example 1 gave no depression. The infrared spectra of this product and the product of Example 1 were identical.

EXAMPLE 5 A compound of this invention was prepared with a Class 3 amine. A flask equipped with a Dry Ice condenser and thermometer was charged with 1-phenyl-2-methylpiperazine (10 grams, 0.0568 mole) dissolved in 220 ml. of anhydrous ether. The stirred solution was cooled to approximately 40 C. and hexafluoroacetone (9.44 grams, 0.0568 mole) was passed into the amine solution. A nitrogen atmosphere was maintained above the ether solution during the reaction. The solution was allowed to attain room temperature and the ether was vaporized in air. A crude faintly yellow solid product weighing 22 grams was obtained. The material was washed with petroleum ether to give tan crystals having a melting point of 84-88 C. Upon analysis, the carbon, hydrogen and fluorine contents were 46.89%, 5.14% and 32.5%. respectively. The calculated carbon, hydrogen and fluorine contents were 49.1%, 4.71% and 33.3%, respectively.

EXAMPLE 6 A compound of this invention was prepared utilizing a Class 2 amine. A solution of N-benzoyl-1,3-propanediamine (17.8 grams, 0.10 mole) in 200 ml. of acetone was placed in a flask equipped with a Dry Ice condenser and thermometer. A nitrogen atmosphere was maintained above the solution as the solution was cooled to 60 C. Hexafluoroacetone was passed into the cold solution with stirring. Upon warming the stirred solution to room temperature, the acetone was removed at reduced pressure. The viscous, clear, oil residue was held under vacuum at approximately 1 mm. for a short time. The clear yellow gum thus obtained contained carbon, hydrogen and fluorine in the following percentages: 46.93%, 4.37%, and 31.7%, respectively. The calculated carbon, hydrogen and fluorine contents were 45.3%, 4.07% and 33.15%, respectively.

EXAMPLE 67 Many of the compounds listed in Table I were also tested as fungicides. Bean mildew and bean rust tests were performed. For the bean rust test, pinto bean plants with fully expanded primary leaves were inoculated with spores of the bean rust fungus Uromyces phaseoli and the incubated for 24 hours. The compounds of this invention were then applied at a concentration of 1000 parts per million. After the spray had dried, the plants were removed to the greenhouse and held for a period of 7 to 10 days, at the end of which time the amount of rust was rated.

For the bean mildew test, tender green bean plants with fully expanded primary leaves were inoculated with spores of the powdery mildew fungus Erysiphe polygoni 48 hours prior to application of test chemicals. Various compounds were then applied at a concentration of 1000 and 500 parts per million. After the spray had dried, the plants were removed to the green house and held for a period of 7 to 10 days, at the end of which time the amount of mildew on the primary leaves was rated. The results of the bean rust test appear in Table III and the results of the primary bean mildew test appear in Table IV. The results are particularly interesting because the fungicides were used to eradicate fungi, not merely to protect uncontaminated plants.

It is thus seen that the compounds of this invention are useful as contact and pre-emergence Weed killers. In addition, the compounds are good fungicides. When used as an herbicide, the compounds should be employed at a dosage level of about /2 to 20 lbs. per acre, preferably from /2 to 5 lbs. per acre.

The herbicides of this invention may be applied directly to the vegetation to be treated and are particularly effective as pre-emergence herbicides, in which case they are applied within a period of from just before the crop is planted to a time just after planting. It is preferred, however, to incorporate the active ingredient in a liquid or solid diluent. The liquid diluent may be a solvent for the active ingredient or the active ingredient may be dispersed in the liquid diluent; thus, the compounds can be formulated as water-dispersable powders or as emulsifiable concentrates or dilute solutions in an organic hydrocarbon solvent. Suitable organic hydrocarbon solvents include fuel oils, petroleum naphthas and the like. The solutions or dispersions may contain the active ingredient in an amount greater than /2 lb. per 100 gallons of dispersion or solution.

In addition, the active ingredient may be impregnated on a suitable solid diluent. Such diluents include diatomaceous earth, silica gels, and the like.

Various conventional wetting, dispersing and emulsifying agents may be added to the herbicidal formulations in order to enhance the wetting effect and produce improved dispersion of the active ingredient on the vegetation to which it is applied. Any of the known types of spraying or dusting apparatus may be employed for applying the herbicide to the vegetation to be treated.

The herbicides of the present invention are applied to the area to be treated in an amount sufficient to obtain the degree of control of vegetation desired. The optimum intensity of application of the desired herbicide will depend on such factors as amount of vegetation in the area, degree of tolerance of the crop, degree of resistance to treatment of the undesired plant, climatic conditions .and soil conditions, particularly organic matter content of the soil.

The invention has been described with a certain degree of particularity. Various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of this invention.
